Partypoker cash game name masking

[darthdimsky]

Hi,

Just noticed masked player names being imported while playing some cash games on partypoker (ref attached screenshot). This is new. Is there a way to see player names like I was once able to?

kind regards, Dims

PS - Is this what is meant by the update point that reads "partypoker: Session only HUD for anonymous hand histories"

Hi,

I took a look at the hand history import from partypoker. Here's what the txt file contains for the screenshot. This does not affect tournament hand histories, only cash.

This change was made by PartyPoker not ourselves:

Here is a snippet from their statement:
From Oct. 5, 2016 on, any hand histories from cash games at PartyPoker will only contain aliases for the person who owns the hand history file; all other players will be listed anonymously as Player 1, Player 2, etc.

So we do not get passed the name of the user so we can only identify them as they show in the hand history.
